4. Declarations of the PUBLISHER

7. PUBLISHER account

7.1.Opening a PUBLISHER account

The use of the PLATFORM presupposes the opening of an account by the PUBLISHER. To open an account and thus to become a member of KWANKO's PUBLISHER network, the applicant for AFFILIATE MARKETING or the MOBILE CAMPAIGN must first read and accept these general terms and conditions and complete the form that is available online on the PLATFORM.

KWANKO reserves the right to accept or reject, by email, at its sole discretion, any application, especially if the content of the website would be likely to harm the image or reputation of KWANKO or its commercial policy, or is not in compliance with the laws and regulations in force or the rights of third parties.

The process for opening a PUBLISHER account includes various different steps.

When registering, the PUBLISHER must provide the information required by KWANKO. This information must be accurate and proven upon the first request from KWANKO. This information must be updated by the PUBLISHER.

The PUBLISHER must indicate a valid email address which will allow, in particular, for the sending of an email confirming its registration in which its password will be indicated as well as the email address corresponding to its PUBLISHER account.

It is the responsibility of the PUBLISHER to ensure that only it has access to the email containing the password.

The PUBLISHER, which has the option of modifying its password at any time on the PLATFORM, is invited to do so during its first login and to modify it on a regular basis.

The PUBLISHER is solely responsible for the safekeeping and confidentiality of its password and, therefore, for the consequences of its involuntary disclosure to anyone. Any use made of the account PUBLISHER using the password assigned to the PUBLISHER or modified by it is presumed to emanate exclusively from the latter, which it expressly accepts.

No operation can be performed without this password or the email address corresponding to its PUBLISHER account.

The password and the email address corresponding to its PUBLISHER account are personal and confidential.

The PUBLISHER has an obligation to notify KWANKO without delay of any compromise of the confidentiality of its password or any use by a third party of which it may become aware.

As of the receipt of this notification, KWANKO will, within a reasonable time and at the latest within forty-eight (48) hours, proceed with the deletion of the password enabling access to the PUBLISHER account.

A new password will then be sent to the PUBLISHER via email.

7.2.Access to a PUBLISHER account

Access to a PUBLISHER account is only possible after the PUBLISHER has been identified by means of a username and a password.

The PUBLISHER account is normally accessible 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

KWANKO reserves the right, without notice or compensation, to temporarily or permanently close the PUBLISHER account in order to update, modify or change the operational methods, servers and accessibility hours, without this list being exhaustive.

KWANKO reserves the right to add to or modify, at any time, its remote services and the PUBLISHER account in accordance with technological developments.

It is the responsibility of the PUBLISHER to ensure that the technological and transmission means at its disposal are kept sufficiently up to date so that these means can adapt to developmental changes to the PUBLISHER account and the remote services offered by KWANKO.

In case of an interruption or inability to use the PUBLISHER account, the PUBLISHER can always contact KWANKO Technical Support for information.

7.3.PUBLISHER account security

The PUBLISHER account is an automated DATA processing system. Any fraudulent access to the latter is prohibited and subject to legal sanctions.

KWANKO makes every reasonable effort, pursuant to best industry practices, to secure the PUBLISHER account, while taking into account the complexity of the Internet and digital technologies. It cannot provide absolute security.

The PUBLISHER declares that it accepts the characteristics and limitations of the Internet. It declares that it is aware that DATA circulating on the Internet are not necessarily protected, in particular against the possible misappropriation.

It acknowledges that it is aware of the nature of the Internet and digital technologies, and in particular its technical performance and response times for viewing, querying or transferring DATA.

The PUBLISHER must inform KWANKO of any PUBLISHER account fault.

8. Affiliate marketing program

Upon acceptance of its application by KWANKO, the PUBLISHER then belongs to a network of KWANKO PUBLISHERS: it can then access the PLATFORM, view the various PROGRAMMES that are offered and their characteristics, and freely decide whether or not to participate.

KWANKO undertakes to provide the PUBLISHER with information and elements (digital files, tags or lines of code, including but not limited to hypertext links, icons, buttons, banner ads, email kits, etc.), enabling the PUBLISHER to implement the PROGRAMMES on its website.

KWANKO will have to option to classify the PUBLISHER website in one of the categories of its network.

KWANKO and the ADVERTISERS have a right to refuse a request to become a PUBLISHER for a PROGRAMME in the event that said PUBLISHER does not fulfil the criteria which are applicable to a specific PROGRAMME.

When the PUBLISHER applies to register for a PROGRAMME, the ADVERTISER may require that the ADVERTISER agree to comply with additional terms and conditions that are specific to this PROGRAMME (hereinafter the “ADVERTISER CONDITIONS"). All PROGRAME and ADVERTISER CONDITIONS may be modified or terminated/cancelled at any time. The PUBLISHER must keep abreast of any changes to the PROGRAMMES and ADVERTISER CONDITIONS. In particular, it must remain informed in order to know if an ADVERTISER has terminated its PROGRAMME or changed its payment terms for PUBLISHERS. This information is available in the KWANKO PUBLISHER interface.

The definition, the posting online and the implementation of the PROGRAMMES, their modification or interruption, as well as the definition of their pricing terms and possible changes thereto will be under the sole and full responsibility of the ADVERTISER that is the initiator of such, with KWANKO operating solely as a simple technical intermediary, which the PUBLISHER acknowledges and accepts.

The PUBLISHER will refrain from performing any act or request that does not correspond to the PROGRAMME chosen by the ADVERTISER.

The PUBLISHER will refrain from directly entering into contact with the ADVERTISER, an act which constitutes an act of commercial parasitism.

9. Mobile monetisation programmes

KWANKO provides PUBLISHERS with a module to monetise their websites’ traffic when accessed from a mobile phone. This module is comprised of an interstitial format consisting of an advertisement that is displayed as a full page before the website is opened for an average duration of 3 seconds and a single superimposed 320x53 banner that appears on the next page. In the event of it being unsold, no interstitial or banner is displayed.

This module is by default configured on the PUBLISHER website. It can be disabled or enabled at any time in the PUBLISHER account on the PLATFORM interface.

It triggers a right to remuneration in accordance with the commercial conditions obtained by KWANKO from its customers and in accordance with the terms of performance and remuneration defined in these terms and conditions or on an INSERTION ORDER signed by the PARTIES.

10. Financial terms

The terms of performance of a PROGRAMME as well as the terms and conditions of remuneration of the PUBLISHERS in respect of a PROGRAMME implemented by KWANKO are defined on the PLATFORM or specified on an INSERTION ORDER signed by the Parties.

KWANKO will ensure the payment of amounts due to the PUBLISHERS, in accordance with the terms set out in this article.

This remuneration will be paid each month to the PUBLISHER only insofar as the amount to be invoiced exceeds a set baseline threshold.

If the PUBLISHER has an account in several different currencies, it will however have the opportunity to convert the amounts into a single currency in order to surpass the threshold.

In the event that the remuneration due to the PUBLISHER for a given month is below this baseline threshold, the payment will be carried forward to the first month that allows for the baseline threshold to be met.

The amounts due to the PUBLISHERS in respect of a PROGRAMME registered on the PLATFORM, are calculated on the basis of the DATA recorded by KWANKO.

The PLATFORM records each EVENT that occurs through a PROGRAMME. It is agreed between the parties that the records made by the PLATFORM serve as a reference for the calculation of the EVENTS. Consequently, the records made by KWANKO serve as a reference for the invoicing of amounts due.

KWANKO is therefore solely responsible for counting the above EVENTS. The PUBLISHER acknowledges and agrees that the statistics and counts established by KWANKO are authentic and serve as official and definitive data between the parties.

The records referred to above will remain permanently available to the PUBLISHER on the PLATFORM.

KWANKO will issue the PUBLISHER with a request to invoice based on the KWANKO records.

The invoice issued by the PUBLISHER will be paid by KWANKO thirty (30) days from the end of month, subject to:

the verification of the remuneration basis (statistics and counting of events) by the ADVERTISER;

the full and complete collection by KWANKO of the amounts owed by the ADVERTISER.

the PUBLISHER invoice being issued within a period of 12 months from the date of the first request to invoice. After this period, the PUBLISHER will be deemed to have abandoned its claim with respect to KWANKO.

In the event that the PUBLISHER has outstanding amounts due to be paid to KWANKO, the sums paid by KWANKO will be reduced accordingly.

The payments will be made by bank transfer. Depending on the country, other means of payment may be offered.

The costs associated with the payments (including foreign exchange, international transfers, specific methods of payment) will be charged to the PUBLISHER and deducted from the settlements that will be paid by KWANKO.

If the total amount of the sums due is contested through a pre-litigation or litigation procedure, the basis of the sums to be paid retained by KWANKO will be that of the sums actually paid by the ADVERTISER from which all expenses incurred by KWANKO will be subtracted.

In the event of dispute of any nature whatsoever, the thirty (30) day period relating to the payment of the invoices will not apply and the payment of the sums to be paid will only occur counting from the day when all the difficulties will have been resolved.

The parties are hereby reminded that it is strictly forbidden for the PUBLISHER to enter into direct contact with the ADVERTISER, including with regard to invoicing disputes, which fall within the exclusive competence of KWANKO.

In the event of a dispute following the payment of the sums by KWANKO, the PUBLISHER undertakes to return the sums paid upon the first request from KWANKO, which will eventually be returned to it as soon as all the control operations have been performed by KWANKO.

The PUBLISHER is responsible for the payment of all taxes, fees, social contributions and similar charges that are based on KWANKO payments. However, if required by law or regulation, KWANKO may deduct certain taxes, withholding taxes or certain fees related to payments.

The PUBLISHERS will be responsible for all relevant declarations to the public administrations in question in order to comply with applicable regulatory provisions (including its possible registration obligation).

KWANKO draws the PUBLISHERS’ attention to the fact that PUBLISHERS that regularly trade on the PLATFORM may be considered to be professionals by tax authorities or other public authorities, and may therefore be subject to the obligations applicable to Professional PUBLISHERS under the applicable regulations and these ToU. It is expressly stated that it is the responsibility of the PUBLISHERS to comply with all obligations incumbent upon them, including the relevant declarations with the administrations in question in order to comply with applicable regulatory provisions, with KWANKO assuming no liability in this respect.

KWANKO strongly recommends that PUBLISHERS which achieve a turnover of more than 20,800 euro on the PLATFORM over a period of three (3) consecutive months should declare themselves as Professional USERS of the PLATFORM and should thus make all the relevant declarations with the administrations in question in order to comply with applicable regulatory provisions. It is hereby specified that this amount is provided for informational purposes by KWANKO, however, it is up to the PUBLISHERS to inquire directly with the relevant tax services to determine from what amount and/or under what conditions they will be considered to be Professional USERS of the PLATFORM by the authorities.

KWANKO reserves the right to ask the PROFESSIONAL PUBLISHERS to provide it with any documentation confirming their identity and address (for example, in the case of French PUBLISHERS: a K-bis extract or an identity card, a SIRET/SIREN number, a bank account number in France, etc.), and to retain the information relating to the identity of the Professional PUBLISHERS and their contact details as well as identity documents for the duration of time that the account is open and for five (5) years after the closing of the account; this in order to meet the regulatory obligations incumbent upon it in case of an inspection by the authorities.

11. Modification of the PUBLISHER website

Any modification in relation to the name of the PUBLISHER website as well as any modification in relation to its hosting site, size, object, or the frequency of its updates will have no effect on these general terms and conditions, which apply ipso jure and automatically to the modified website.

These ToU apply to all hosting sites of the PUBLISHER website, present or future.

In the event that the PUBLISHER divides it website into several different websites or create a new website, these general terms and conditions will apply automatically to all of these new websites.

The PUBLISHER undertakes to expeditiously inform KWANKO of any modification that could lead to an alteration to and/or loss of the DATA recorded by the PLATFORM and which enables KWANKO to calculate the remuneration due to it.

The PUBLISHER undertakes to expeditiously inform KWANKO in the event of any significant change affecting the nature, content or purpose of its website.

12. Exclusivity

The PUBLISHER has no exclusivity under these ToU.

KWANKO reserves the right to implement PROGRAMMES as provided for herein with competitors of the PUBLISHER.

13. Protection of KWANKO's investment

The development of the PUBLISHER network and of AFFILIATE MARKETING campaigns or advertising through PERFORMANCE PROGRAMMES through a wide and diversified ADVERTISER portfolio constitutes a major investment on behalf of KWANKO.

Consequently, the PUBLISHER is prohibited f rom entering into an AFFILIATE MARKETING relationship with KWANKO ADVERTISERS either directly or via another third party for the duration of these ToU and for a period of twelve (12) months from their termination, whatever the reason for it.

In the event that the PUBLISHER decides to enter into an AFFILIATE MARKETING relationship or to execute PROGRAMMES, either directly or via another third party, with an ADVERTISER previously identified by KWANKO during the execution of these general terms and conditions without the authorisation of KWANKO, it will pay it an amount equal to twelve (12) times the highest monthly turnover generated under these general terms and conditions to the benefit of KWANKO, for all PROGRAMMES combined, with this sum not being less than fifteen-thousand (15,000) euro excluding taxes.

In the event that the PUBLISHER decides, in agreement with KWANKO, to enter into an AFFILIATE MARKETING relationship or to execute PROGRAMMES, either directly or via another third party, with an ADVERTISER previously identified by KWANKO during the execution of these general terms and conditions without the authorisation of KWANKO, it will pay it an amount equal to three (3) times the highest monthly turnover generated under these general terms and conditions to the benefit of KWANKO, for all AFFILIATE MARKETING PROGRAMMES combined, with this sum not being less than seven thousand five hundred (7,500) euro excluding taxes.

14. Technical assistance

The PUBLISHER may request technical assistance from KWANKO.

The cost of this technical assistance is determined by KWANKO upon presentation of an estimate to the PUBLISHER.

15. Collaboration

The PUBLISHER undertakes to maintain an active and regular collaboration by transmitting to KWANKO all the elements necessary for the execution of these ToU.

The PUBLISHER warrants in particular to KWANKO that it has, especially with regard to its host, the right to create hypertext links, icons, buttons, advertising banners, email kits or other techniques with a merchant website.

The PUBLISHER warrants to KWANKO that it has all rights, including intellectual property rights, over all the content of its website, mobile applications or other dissemination media, which are necessary for their posting online, such that KWANKO's liability will in no way be sought in any capacity whatsoever.

In general, the PUBLISHER warrants KWANKO against all harmful consequences that may result from the breach by the PUBLISHER of any one of the commitments listed in these general terms and conditions, and in particular any amicable or contentious actions by third parties in relation to the execution of these ToU.

17. Damages

KWANKO’s liability for the purposes hereof is strictly limited to direct damages actually suffered and proven by the PUBLISHER, to the exclusion of all counts of indirect damages such as loss of profits, loss of turnover or any other. As such, KWANKO will cover the said damages under its professional liability insurance policy underwritten by Generali.

A "lead" typically, the surname, first name, postal address etc.

The email address

The argsite (login ID) of USERS of the PUBLISHER.

These PERSONAL DATA are collected solely to enable the PUBLISHER to offer its USERS access to targeted advertising content.

In any case, the PERSONAL DATA communicated to KWANKO will be returned to the PUBLISHER if it issues a written request within eight (8) days from the termination of the contractual relationship, or permanently deleted.

21.1. PUBLISHER obligations:

The PUBLISHER supervises the processing and warrants to KWANKO that its obligations under the GDPR are being properly complied with. In particular, the affiliate will ensure the lawfulness of its outsourced data processing at all times to KWANKO, as well as its proper compliance with the requirements of the GDPR with regard to the exercising of the rights of the person in question.

In this respect, the PUBLISHER will take all necessary precautions in its collection of these PERSONAL DATA from its USERS in order to comply with the regulations in force in its capacity as data controller, and in particular with the provisions of the Act of 06 January 1978 as amended in relation to data protection (“l’informatique, aux fichiers et aux libertés”) and the GDPR.

Ensure that persons authorised to process PERSONAL DATA undertake to respect their confidentiality;

"KWANKO Mobile”: is the name for the MOBILE CAMPAIGN mode that is available on www.KWANKO.com; this consists of a marketing practice for mobile dissemination media (devices) through which an ADVERTISER will see its commercial offerings (products or services) disseminated by a promotional force consisting of a network of PUBLISHERS of mobile websites or mobile applications or databases, or other mobile Internet service providers and dissemination media;

A. Technical integration methods

KWANKO mobile enables PUBLISHERS to monetise their mobile advertising slots (by mobile is meant any advertising displayed on a dissemination medium that is a mobile "device", for example, a smartphone or tablet).

There are several technical integration methods that can be chosen by the Publisher:

In Method 1 as in Method 2, the PUBLISHER entrusts its advertising inventory to KWANKO which is in charge of the monetisation of inventories in accordance with the monetisation rules defined upstream between KWANKO and the Publisher. KWANKO has the liberty to disseminate all the advertising campaigns or mobile PROGRAMMES ordered by its ADVERTISERS on the PUBLISHERS’ advertising inventories on condition that they respect the dissemination rules agreed between the Parties (management of the blacklists, the dissemination formats, dissemination remuneration, amongst others).

Method 3: This is a "server to server" (S2S) communication method through which the PUBLISHER connects to the KWANKO PLATFORM in order to be able to relay the advertising campaigns or mobile PROGRAMMES ordered by the KWANKO ADVERTISERS onto the advertising inventories of KWANKO PUBLISHERS.

B. Rules for the dissemination and verification of statistics and event counts that may give rise to a right of remuneration (also called "gain") for the benefit of KWANKO and/or its PUBLISHERS;

Depending on the method of integration and the agreement concluded with the PUBLISHER, KWANKO reserves the right to apply the following rules:

The final statistics and event counts and the PUBLISHERS’ gains will be subject to the verification of the “ADVERTISER customer", with the figures of the KWANKO platform being valid for invoicing, and will be invoiced in accordance with § 51 to 73 “Financial terms" of the ToU.

KWANKO undertakes to ensure that the verification of the statistics and event counts on the "ANNOUNCER customers" side will be done as soon as possible, so that the KWANKO PUBLISHERS can find their validated gains for one month (M) at the latest the following month (M+1).

Cancellations of statistics and event counts that may give rise to a right to remuneration (also called "gain"): the "customer" and/or KWANKO reserves the right to cancel the statistics and counts of conversion events carried out without the dissemination criteria having been complied with (for example: the non- respect of geographical areas of dissemination, the non-respect of the dissemination period, and in general the non-respect of the cappings and/or the non-compliance with campaign budgets specified on the INSERTION ORDER). To do this, KWANKO undertakes to systematically transmit to the PUBLISHER detailed and complete information on all the desired dissemination criteria in the form of an INSERTION ORDER that must be accepted by the PUBLISHER and KWANKO.

1. PREAMBLE

This Privacy Policy is intended to provide you with comprehensive information about how Kwanko SA (hereinafter “Kwanko”) collects, uses and discloses personal data that it may collect and process within the scope of its commercial activities, as well as the rights that you have over the data concerning you. It enters into force on 25 May, 2018.

Updates to this version of the Privacy Policy reflect the changes made by the General Data Protection Regulation (EU) 2016/679 of the European Parliament and the Council dated 27 April 2016 (hereinafter the “GDPR”).

Kwanko has made its compliance with regulations and laws on the protection of privacy and personal data a priority.

The KWANKO Terms and Conditions of Sale (for advertisers) and Terms and Conditions of Use (for affiliates) contain the main rules that are applicable to the data collected and processed through our services and our platforms. We impose these rules on all partners that we work with and we ask them to comply with the laws and regulations in force for all services they provide to us.

As part of its business activities, Kwanko collects and processes personal data (1) on behalf of itself, but also (2) in the name and on behalf of its partners, be they advertisers or affiliates. In the first case, Kwanko acts as a data controller, while in the second case, it is a subcontractor within the meaning of the provisions of the GDPR.

Processing that is subcontracted by Kwanko is strictly governed by agreements concluded with its partners, in accordance with the requirements of the regulations in force.

2. COLLECTED DATA

The way that you communicate with us or with our technologies and services determines the purpose of the collection and the processing of the information. Through this Privacy Policy, we want to inform you about the types of personal data that we may access.

“Data” as a general term may include all kinds of personal information, such as your name, address, or information about your device (for example, your operating system or browser).

2.1. Data collected via our website www.kwanko.com

However, please note that our web servers temporarily record traffic data provided by the device you use to enter our website (including host name (IP address)), and the date, time and duration of your visit, your browser data and operating system, as well as the name of your service provider, and the website from which you have been redirected to our website (the so-called reference URL). This information is stored in a log file until it is automatically deleted.

The collection and processing of this data is done in order to facilitate the use of our website (implementing the login) and to ensure the security and stability of our systems as well as the technical administration of the network infrastructure.

We do not record any Personal Data (your name, address, telephone number or email address) other than those that you voluntarily provided, for example, as part of an enquiry or during an attempt to establish a contractual relationship.

2.2. Contact data when creating user accounts on the Kwanko platform

For these purposes, we process and store:

the CRM ID of our advertising partners and/or the email addresses in hashed form. (For example, the hashed form of name@email.com would be 95ad3e9a65078288849e0ce56cf032c4)

the mobile advertising identifiers (such as IDFA for iOS-enabled mobile devices or GAID for Android-based mobile devices), which are technical identifiers created by mobile phone manufacturers for the purposes of customisation and analysis in a secure and non-identifying way for users.

We may also collect technical identifiers from trusted partners in order to improve our multichannel convergence technology (cross-device) and thus offer our partners a harmonised experience when browsing on a website or mobile application that is part of the KWANKO network.

Our partners may use deterministic or non-deterministic technologies but, in any case, we require that our partners share with us only the convergence data to the exclusion of any other data (whether personal or not) that may be collected by these partners as part of their services, and that they offer users a simple way to oppose the collection and processing of their data.

2.4. Data collected via our PartnerTag

Online behavioural advertising is a technology that enables the display of advertisements that are tailored to your preferences and therefore more interesting for you. Based on the user’s previous anonymous browsing behaviour, their interests are grouped into user profiles. Depending on the user’s supposed interests, relevant advertisements are then presented to the Internet user. This will allow for advertisements to be disseminated that are as targeted as possible. Some providers use cookies for this.

KWANKO does not undertake behavioural advertising nor use tracking services, nor does the “PartnerTag” management tool supplied by KWANKO to its advertisers collect data for these purposes.

2.5. Data collected via cookies

Kwanko uses cookies for these tracking services, in other words, services that dynamically analyse an advertiser’s advertising communications and their impact on customer attitudes and behaviours.

Cookies are small files that are installed on your device, which perform a variety of functions, including enabling you to navigate between pages efficiently, remembering your preferences, and generally improving your experience.

Kwanko stores cookies on the devices of users who visit the websites and who use the online services of our advertisers, in order to obtain convergence data and to record events such as sales and leads (for example, the sale a product on an e-store, or the completion of a form for being contacted back).

The sole purpose of our cookies is to link the dissemination of an advertisement on the website of an affiliate (a content publisher) to a commercial transaction performed on the website of the advertiser of said advertising, and to perform the corresponding invoicing services. Personally identifiable information about the user is neither collected nor processed nor used in tracking. Tracking cookies only store information about when and on which device a dissemination or a click on an advertisement occurred. We only store an individual sequence of numbers that cannot be attributed to an individual user and which contains only information about the advertiser’s advertising programme, the affiliate, and/or the dates and times on which the user saw or clicked on the advertisement.

Tracking operations also allow us to collect information on the type of electronic device that was used by the user to complete the commercial transaction. This, for example, consists of information about the operating system or the Internet browser used. These data are only collected for statistical purposes and for the optimisation of the services provided by Kwanko.

Kwanko uses cookies and similar technologies when providing its services to help it collect other information.

We only collect data related to users’ browsing through cookies or equivalent identifiers that record:

events related to the user’s activity on our partners’ websites (for example: the number of pages viewed, the products viewed, and the searches made on our partners’ websites);

information related to the user’s computer, tablet or smartphone (type of device, operating system, version) and events related to the dissemination of advertising via the KWANKO platform, such as the number of advertisements that have been displayed.
